Over ten years ago I met a guy while working at Barnes & Noble, Michael Eakin. He teaches massage, Qi gong, medical intuition and other stuff. During that time he introduced me to a business associate of his Ray Borden. I started working on a project of a series of books he wanted to publish. Here are some of the cover art that I created. Most were done with PhotoShop and Illustrator.

If you would like this image as a screen saver… get at Webshots.com where I host some of the digital art I have created.
Here is a set of high-resolution graphics designed for print. I did these for my wife’s office wall,while she was working as vocational rehab counselor.
